Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of prism, in particular to a prism structure and an assembling method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In most short optical systems, two prisms (such as roof prism and half roof prism) are usually required to be assembled for the purpose of normal imaging and shortening the optical path. In such optical systems, the prism assembling requires very high accuracy, and the prisms must be assembled to the specified position and angle, otherwise the imaging quality and position will be greatly affected. Therefore, the precision of the parts is required to be very high, and the assembling of the prisms is also required to be strict.

[0003] Most prisms are processed by optical grinding and polishing process, so the error of the prism parts can be controlled within a very small error range. However, due to the influence of tool wear, clamping error and machine precision, the size of the parts cannot be guaranteed, so high-precision processing equipment and customized clamps are usually required to process the metal frame, resulting in high cost of the parts. The existing metal frame for fixing the prisms is usually made into an integrated structure. However, since the partition plate in the metal frame needs to be attached to the mirror surface of the two prisms, for example, the partition plate needs to have a 48° angle with the end surface of the metal frame, the metal frame cannot be processed at one time and needs to be repeatedly clamped and processed, which inevitably causes size processing error and reduces the processing efficiency of the metal frame, thereby affecting the assembling efficiency of the prisms and the metal frame. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a prism structure and an assembling method thereof to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present application, a prism structure is provided, which comprises a prism frame, a roof prism and a half roof prism, the roof prism and the half roof prism are arranged on the prism frame, and further comprises a floating partition plate and a fixing screw. The prism frame comprises a base and two parallel arranged side plates, the end of the side plate is arranged on the end surface of the base, the first light hole is arranged on the base, the floating partition plate is arranged between the two side plates, the second light hole is arranged on the floating partition plate, the through hole is arranged on the side plate, and the fixing screw is arranged in the side of the floating partition plate after penetrating through the through hole of the side plate. The floating partition plate can rotate between the two side plates with the fixing screw as the axis. The roof prism and the half roof prism are arranged between the two side plates and located on the two sides of the floating partition plate respectively. The first side surface of the roof prism is attached to the base, the second side surface of the roof prism is attached to the floating partition plate, the third side surface of the half roof prism is attached to the prism frame, and the fourth side surface of the half roof prism is attached to the floating partition plate.

[0006] The prism structure of this invention enables the optical system to achieve image projection and shorten the optical path by allowing light to pass through a first aperture on the prism frame, a roof prism, a second aperture on the floating partition, and a half-roof prism. When assembling the prism structure, the floating partition is installed between two side plates using fixing screws. The floating partition can rotate freely between the two side plates around the fixing screws. First, the roof prism is assembled by installing it between the two side plates and pushing it so that its first side surface adheres to the base, and its second side surface adheres to one side of the floating partition. The roof prism is then in place. Next, the half-roof prism is assembled by installing it between the two side plates and pushing it so that its third side surface adheres to the prism frame. The fourth side surface of the half-roof prism... The half-roof prism is assembled by attaching it to the other side of the floating partition. During assembly, since the floating partition can rotate freely between the two side plates, the ridge prism only needs to be pushed into place first, and then the floating partition will automatically return to its fitted position with the ridge prism, thus avoiding assembly errors. The prism structure of this invention separates the floating partition and the prism frame into two independent components and processes them separately, simplifying the processing and clamping problem. By using a floating partition that can rotate freely between the two side plates, the problem of poor optical parameters caused by part processing errors or prism assembly errors is solved. This reduces the processing accuracy requirements and assembly difficulty of the parts, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the prism frame and the assembly efficiency of the prism and prism frame.

[0007] Preferably, there are two fixing screws, and both side plates are provided with coaxial through holes. The two fixing screws pass through the through holes on the two side plates and are screwed into the side of the floating partition.

[0008] Therefore, after the floating partition is installed between the two side plates by two fixing screws, the floating partition can rotate smoothly and freely between the two side plates with the two fixing screws as the axis. During assembly, it is only necessary to push the ridge prism into place first, and the floating partition will automatically return to the state of fitting with the ridge prism, avoiding assembly errors. When processing the prism frame and the floating partition, after the prism frame and the floating partition are formed by milling and turning, the two threaded holes on the floating partition that are adapted to the two fixing screws can be directly processed. It is only necessary to ensure that the two threaded holes are coaxial, so as to avoid the error caused by the secondary clamping hole misalignment, which would lead to the positioning offset of the floating partition.

[0009] Preferably, the axis of the fixing screw intersects the axis of the first optical hole.

[0010] Therefore, when the prism frame and the floating partition are processed, the prism frame and the floating partition are formed by turning, and then the threaded holes on the floating partition which are matched with the fixing screws are directly processed, thereby avoiding the error caused by the deviation of the hole clamping twice, the deviation of the positioning of the floating partition, and the deviation of the installation of the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism. As long as the axis of the threaded holes on the floating partition which are matched with the fixing screws intersects with the axis of the first light hole on the base when the floating partition is installed between the two side plates by the fixing screws, the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism can be installed in place, thereby solving the problem of the poor optical parameters caused by the processing error of the parts or the assembly error of the prism, and reducing the processing precision requirement of the parts and the assembly difficulty.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is arranged on the end face of the base close to the floating partition, and an inclined surface is arranged on one end of the floating partition, and the end of the floating partition provided with the inclined surface is accommodated in the limiting groove, and the floating partition is arranged in an inclined manner between the two side plates.

[0012] Therefore, the limiting groove can limit the rotation range of the floating partition, the installation of the ridge prism is facilitated, the inclined surface on the floating partition can prevent the end of the floating partition from being stuck in the limiting groove during the rotation of the floating partition, so that the end of the floating partition can swing freely in the limiting groove, and the floating partition arranged in an inclined manner ensures that the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism form the required light path after being installed.

[0013] Preferably, two positioning threaded holes are arranged on the side plate,

[0014] When the bolt is screwed in one of the positioning threaded holes, the end of the bolt can pre-fix the ridge prism, and when the bolt is screwed in the other positioning threaded hole, the end of the bolt can pre-fix the half-ridge prism.

[0015] Therefore, when the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism need to be fixed, one bolt is screwed in one of the positioning threaded holes, the bolt is screwed with a certain tightening force, the end of the bolt abuts against the ridge prism to pre-fix the ridge prism, and the other bolt is screwed in the other positioning threaded hole, the bolt is screwed with a certain tightening force, and the end of the bolt abuts against the half-ridge prism to pre-fix the half-ridge prism.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of glue injection holes are arranged on the side plate,

[0017] When the glue is injected into at least one of the glue injection holes, the ridge prism can be bonded with the side plate, and when the glue is injected into at least one of the glue injection holes, the half-ridge prism can be bonded with the side plate.

[0018] Therefore, when fixing the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism, one bolt is screwed into one positioning threaded hole, the bolt is screwed with a certain tightening force, the end of the bolt is pressed against the ridge prism to pre-fix the ridge prism, another bolt is screwed into another positioning threaded hole, the bolt is screwed with a certain tightening force, the end of the bolt is pressed against the half-ridge prism to pre-fix the half-ridge prism, then glue is injected into the glue injection hole, the glue can bond the ridge prism and the side plate together, the glue can bond the half-ridge prism and the side plate together, after the glue between the ridge prism and the side plate and the glue between the half-ridge prism and the side plate solidify, the bolts in the positioning threaded holes are removed, and the fixing of the ridge prism and the half-ridge prism is very simple.

[0019] The application further provides an assembling method of the prism structure.

[0020] (a). After the fixing screw is screwed into the side part of the floating partition plate through the through hole on the side plate, the floating partition plate is installed between the two side plates, and the floating partition plate can rotate between the two side plates;

[0021] (b). The ridge prism is installed between the two side plates, the ridge prism is pushed so that the first side surface of the ridge prism is attached to the base and the second side surface of the ridge prism is attached to one side of the floating partition plate, and the ridge prism is assembled in place;

[0022] (c). The half-ridge prism is installed between the two side plates, the half-ridge prism is pushed so that the third side surface of the half-ridge prism is attached to the prism frame and the fourth side surface of the half-ridge prism is attached to the other side of the floating partition plate, and the half-ridge prism is assembled in place;

[0023] (d). The ridge prism and the half-ridge prism are fixed;

[0024] (e). The ridge prism is bonded with the side plate, and the half-ridge prism is bonded with the side plate.

[0026] The application further provides an assembling method of the prism structure.

[0029] (c). The half-roof prism is installed between the two side plates, the half-roof prism is pushed to make the third side of the half-roof prism fit on the prism frame, the fourth side of the half-roof prism fit on the other side of the floating partition plate, and the half-roof prism is assembled in place;

[0030] (d). A screw is screwed in a positioning threaded hole, and when the screw is screwed, the end of the screw presses against the roof prism to pre-fix the roof prism,

[0031] and another screw is screwed in another positioning threaded hole, and when the screw is screwed, the end of the screw presses against the half-roof prism to pre-fix the half-roof prism;

[0032] (e). Glue is injected into the glue injection hole, and the roof prism and the side plate are bonded together, and the half-roof prism and the side plate are bonded together;

[0033] (f). After the glue between the roof prism and the side plate and the glue between the half-roof prism and the side plate solidifies, the screw in the positioning threaded hole is removed.

[0034] The assembling method of the prism structure of the present application, in the assembling process, since the floating partition plate can rotate between the two side plates with the fixing screw as the shaft, only the roof prism needs to be pushed to the position during assembly, and the floating partition plate will automatically return to the fitting state with the roof prism, thereby avoiding assembly errors, the assembling method of the present application solves the problem of poor optical parameters caused by traditional part processing errors or prism assembly errors through a floating partition plate that can rotate between the two side plates, reduces the processing precision requirement and assembly difficulty of the parts, and thereby improves the processing efficiency of the prism frame and the assembling efficiency of the prism and the prism frame.

[0035] Preferably, in step (a), the number of fixing screws is two, the two side plates are each provided with a through hole with the same axis, and the two fixing screws are screwed through the through holes on the two side plates and placed in the sides of the floating partition plate, and the floating partition plate can rotate between the two side plates with the fixing screws as the shaft.

During assembly, it is only necessary to push the ridge prism into place first, and the floating partition will automatically return to the state of fitting with the ridge prism, avoiding assembly errors. When processing the prism frame and the floating partition, after the prism frame and the floating partition are formed by milling and turning, the two threaded holes on the floating partition that are adapted to the two fixing screws can be directly processed. It is only necessary to ensure that the two threaded holes are coaxial, so as to avoid the error caused by the secondary clamping hole misalignment, which would lead to the positioning offset of the floating partition.

After the glue between the ridge prism 2 and the side plate 12 and the glue between the half-ridge prism 3 and the side plate 12 solidifies, the bolts in the positioning threaded holes 122 and the circular end plate 13 installed on the prism frame 1 are removed, and the fixing of the ridge prism 2 and the half-ridge prism 3 is very simple.In the assembly process, since the floating partition plate 4 can rotate at will between the two side plates 12, only the ridge prism 2 needs to be pushed into place during assembly, and the floating partition plate 4 will automatically return to the state of being attached to the ridge prism 2, thereby avoiding assembly errors. When the prism frame 1 and the floating partition plate 4 are processed, the threaded holes 43 on the floating partition plate 4 are directly processed after the prism frame 1 and the floating partition plate 4 are formed by turning and milling, as long as the coaxiality of the two threaded holes 43 is ensured, and the error caused by the deviation of the clamping hole during secondary clamping and the deviation of the positioning of the floating partition plate 4 is avoided. As long as the axis of the threaded hole 43 on the floating partition plate 4 adapted to the fixed screw 5 intersects with the axis of the first light hole 111 on the base 11 when the floating partition plate 4 is installed between the two side plates 12 through the fixed screw 5, the ridge prism 2 and the half-ridge prism 3 can be installed in place, thereby solving the problem of poor optical parameters caused by the machining error of the parts or the assembly error of the prisms in the traditional way, reducing the machining precision requirement and assembly difficulty of the parts, and improving the machining efficiency of the prism frame and the assembly efficiency of the prisms and the prism frame.
